What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proper closure of the PVL (defined as Reduction in paravalvular regurgitation of ≥ one grade as assessed by echocardiography pre vs post implantation) and/or reduction in the number of hemolysis related transfusions.

    Measured: 6 month following implantation

  2. Absence of device -and/or procedure-related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) including deaths, stroke (ischemic stroke that occurs within 24 hours following implantation), systemic embolism or device embolizations.

    Measured: 6 month following implantation
